   Or fix the bugs.  I don't know anything about the code in question, but 
now that people are getting repeatable panics, I assume that tracking down 
the bugs will be rather easier.
   There was a time when STABLE absolutely needed to be stable, but I'm not 
sure that's necessarily the case any more; now that we have all the 
release/security branches, I think it's safe to say that most systems which 
need absolute stability aren't going to be running STABLE.
